Energy and The Preservation of Entity: A Multidisciplinary View of Continuity in Physics and Digital Systems
Year: 2025
Type: other
Abstract: This article explores the interconnected relationship between physical energy conservation and the long-term preservation of entities, both biological and digital. Drawing from the laws of thermodynamics, it demonstrates how energy transformation underpins the continuity of matter and life. It further extends these concepts to modern challenges of digital preservation, highlighting parallels between sustaining informational entities and sustaining physical ones. By integrating principles of data storage resilience, redundancy, and accessibility with philosophical views on identity and existence, the article offers a multidisciplinary framework for understanding preservation as both a scientific and cultural necessity.
